So the Christmas season gets a little crazy and afterwards it takes some time for catching up. This is why I am calling for all easy Slow Cooker/Crock Pot recipes. And don't forget they have to be yummy!. I think Crock Pots/Slow Cookers are the best. It is so convenient to get your meal prepared and ready in the morning before the hectic day begins. The best is coming home to a nice fresh warm meal. So I will share with you my favorite recipe for the Slow Cooker if you share yours. I figured this could be very beneficial for us all during the season. If you prefer to email it to me please do and I will post it up for you. I would also appreciate any good appetizers, desserts, or other great recipes. As long as it's edible! Thanks!

Oh my gosh my mouth just started to water.
My favorite is Roast!
all you need is a
Rump Roast
1 can of cream of mush. soup
1 pouch lipton onion soup
You just combine them all in the crock pot and pour water until it covers most of the roast and let it cook on low all day long. Its do delicious it melts in your mouth!
Easy Barbequed Pulled Pork.
Ingredients:
1 pork roast to feed your family (the size isn't important) Boneless works best, but you can use bone in too.
apple cider
Barbeque sause (your favorite brand)
Garlic (I use either garlic salt & coarse pepper, or garlic pepper & kosher salt)
salt
pepper
Season your roast with the garlic, salt & pepper and place it into your crock pot. pour in about an inch of apple cider. Set the crock pot according to the manufacturers directions for the time.
Once the roast is cooked through, remove it from the crockpot and using forks pull the meat appart. Reserve the apple cider/meat drippings. You can remove all the fat and bones (if necessary) now. Once the meat is pulled, add it back to the crockpot and add in the barbeque sauce with a bit of the apple/drippings (careful as the drippings also have a lot of the seasoning in them...you might want to make sure they don't end up back in your sauce.) Let the meat & sauce heat through.
You can serve this on rolls or buns, or directly on the plate.
So I don't have a full recipe, but I love to just throw the bags of frozen chicken breasts (I buy mine at Wal-mart) with some water in the crock pot.Then you have shredded chicken, that is usually enough for two meals and you don't have to sit and cut it all up, because it just falls apart! :) I actually have some in the crock pot today!
I just put chicken in with couple cans of cream of chicken and 1 can of water more or less depending on if you like it thicker. Cut up potatoes and carrots with onions if you like them and couple cloves of garlic some salt and pepper and you have super moist and yummy meal.
Tash--
You gave me something new to cook this week! My crock pot stand by is the Cafe Rio Chicken--so super easy. Just in case you don't have the recipe...
Cafe Rio Chicken
1 small bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (or 1 cup if you buy the bigger bottle, 1 small bottle is 8 ounces)
1 Tablespoon Chili powder
1 Tablespoon Cumin
3 cloves of garlic minced
2 to 2 1/2 lbs of boneless skinless,boneless chicken breast
cook for 4 hours on low on crock pot, then shred chicken in crock pot, then cook 1 additional hour. Here is the dressing...
Creamy Tomatillo Dressing
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
2 tomatillos, quartered
1 clove garlic
1/2 bunch cilantro including stems
1 jalepeno with some seeds
juice of one lime
Make ranch dressing according to package directions except use 1/2 of milk. Put everything into blender and mix. Chill.
This super easy recipe turns out perfect every time I make it-and the leftovers are even yummier then the original dinner! If you wish to add veggies to your roast, add them at the start of the cook time. For a healthier alternative, use low sodium broth and low fat cream of mushroom soup and be sure to trim visible fat from your roast.
INGREDIENTS
* 3 pounds rump roast
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
* 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed beef broth
DIRECTIONS
1. Place rump roast in a slow cooker. Pour in condensed cream of mushroom soup and condensed beef broth. Cook on LOW for about 8 hours.
